Tycho, gonna send me one of those Trip figs? I didn't even know about this, woulda bought it if I had. NFC is pretty cool, but kinda far out of the loop for exclusives (this is far from their first Trek exclusive).

There's rumor that TRU is not going to carry the TOS figures... I wasn't surprised, but was disappointed.

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.

I really, really want one of those Yellow Kirks. I would really like to meet Digger too. I've heard cool stuff about him. At least they are making the whole original cast. Extra crew members would be cool too, like Teoman Rand or Nurse Chapel.

(Tycho, if you're able to help me out with a Kirk, send me a pm)

Sadly, everybody was limited to 1 Kirk, verified by a stamp on the pass or something, I believe. This is a figure I wanted Tycho to get me as well, so I know of the heartbreak of which I speak.

Glad to hear there are more accessories with these, too bad Digger made "regular" Kirk an exclusive, if collectors had more accessories with each fig (which apparently, they do, but few knew till recently) and "casual" Kirk had been the exclusive, I bet TRU and WM wouldn't have dropped the line before it even came out.

I didn't hear that. In truth, I spent only 1 day at Art Asylum's boothe because Wed was preview night. Thursday I went only at the last several hours to do Del Rey and Dark Horse interviews, and plan our stage time for the Watto and Yoda sales.

Friday, all day, was Star Wars panel discussions and the Clone Wars cartoon preview, so I never made it to the dealer rooms.

Saturday I spent at the Star Wars Fan Club breakfast, then at a "lecture" by Hasbro to "get the news straight" in which a closed meeting with the toy company and SSG, RS, and GH went on and on about the Sandcrawler and the leaking of the orient's new product poster with Rieeken, the escape pod, etc., which surprised them (but not too much, considering the resources of the sites we're talking about). Then I went to a Smallville event, and spent the rest of the afternoon clearing SSG to take the stage during Sunday's Star Wars event where Steve Sansweet, John Morton (thank you DAK!), and Daniel Logan (such a cool young guy!) helped us promote SSG's charity cause for the Friends of Parks and Recreation Foundation in front of a room that seated 1040!

Sunday, I guarded Watto and Yoda and watched the BattleStar Galactica: The Second Coming, Richard "Apollo" Hatch's awesome return to Battlestar, and then qucikly helped the 501st Imperial Legion set the stage for Sunday's main Star Wars event.

The evening after that, I worked "for" Hasbro, talking to most of their online retail partners about our payment program plan that would allow collectors to get a larger, more deatiled Millennium Falon, plus I gave Hasbro our forum suggestions for the improved, retooled Sandcrawler, and John Morton invited me to go with him and his wife on a quest to find a Dak Ralter action figure at Comic Con, upon which he was stoked to see it for the first time, never knowing the figure had existed, expecially before Rogue Squadron Mates Hobbie and Jansen!

That was fun and the moment got shared with ...."Wow! This thread is about the Star Trek figures and I had such a great (and busy) time at Comic Con, that I can't contain how cool this convention was!"

Oh yeah: the Star Trek figures were really neat, too.

BAD Pts Need:R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.

As for figs, I'd like to see ST2 figs mentioned above except with Scotty in his engineer's suit (the evac-style white jumpsuit with the techy stuff on it). A movie-era transporter room playset, a movie-era bridge playset, and other "never gonna happen" sets like that.

What I'd really like to see more of though are the ships, a Klingon BOP, Miranda-class (USS Reliant), Excelsior-class, saucer-separating Galaxy-class, Spacedock (yeah right), and ST1:TMP Klingon D7. Maybe also an Oberth (USS Grissom), TOS-era Klingon D7, a Nebula-class (USS Faragut, could have swappable weapons pod to contain both variations of the ship), and the USS Prometheus.
